The International Trade Centre (ITC) is a subsidiary organization of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UNCTAD) and provides Trade-Related Technical Assistance. Whereas the WTO mainly deals with the rules of international trade and UNCTAD with research and advocacy, ITC's mandate is far more narrow as it is solely concerned with helping (so-called) developing and transition economies to promote their exports. The pure focus on technical assistance is rare within the UN system as most other organizations that provide technical assistance usually engage in multiple areas and kinds of assistance. - Source: Wikipedia
